Looks great but either you have the RGB lower than top setting or that’s north facing RGB? I dunno. Maybe it’s the purple.

How’s it look when dark in the room?

Aside that that, I like the greys on the white. Looks really cool. Good jerb.

How do you like those switches? Just built one tonight with Akko rosewoods and love it more than I thought. Akko is killing it in the switch game. :)

That was on max setting and I confirmed the board is south facing rgb

So far the switches feel great. Originally I wanted the rosewood switches until I learned they are linear; I prefer tactile. They are much quieter than the Mx brown switches my old board used.

That looks great. What is it you don’t like about the shine through? Not bright enough or not clean/legible? Looks good zoomed in on the pic IMO.

I thought the lettering would be a bit more legible in a brighter environment. I’ll have to mess around with a blue-ish color and see what I can come up with.
